It doesn’t get any better than a no-bake recipe. If you don’t have to actually bake anything, that pretty much leaves you with a little mixing and 20 minutes of chilling.

These no-bake bars are better than anything you can buy prepackaged at the store and you can recognize every ingredient used! They are nutty, chewy, and laced with chocolate. They are healthy enough to be enjoyed for breakfast but sweet and satisfying enough to be dessert.

If you are looking for a kid-friendly snack, look no further. This versatile recipe can be adjusted to suit any allergens or aversion to textures. See the tips at the bottom!

TIPS

Make sure your almond butter doesn’t have any added sweeteners or the bars might be too sweet!

Instead of the almond butter, try peanut butter. The flavor is a little stronger but so delicious with the chocolate chips. If you cant have tree nuts, try sunflower butter.

There is always room for more ad-ins; try dried fruit like raisins or craisins, peanut butter chips, and experiment with different types of nuts.
